To help our visitors shop and save in even more locations, CrossBorderShopping.ca has recently added five new cross border shopping destinations just across the Canadian border, bringing our total number of U.S. shopping destinations to 26. The new destinations are:

Grove City, Pennsylvania: Grove City is a popular cross border shopping destination for Canadians living in Southern Ontario, as it features some of the best outlet shopping in the North Eastern United States and no state sales tax in Pennsylvania on clothing, shoes and other popular items.

Erie, Pennsylvania: Erie is a popular cross border shopping destination for Canadians living in Southern Ontario, as it features a variety of retail shopping and no state sales tax in Pennsylvania on clothing, shoes and other popular items.

Portland, Oregon: Portland is a popular cross border shopping destination for Canadians living in British Columbia. It features some of the best retail and outlet shopping in the North Western United States, and Oregon has no state sales tax, providing the added bonus of tax free shopping.

Minot, North Dakota: Minot is a popular cross border shopping destination for Canadians living in Eastern Saskatchewan and Western Manitoba, featuring a variety of retail shopping options.

Kalispell & Whitefish, Montana: Kalispell & Whitefish are popular cross border shopping destinations for Canadians living in Eastern Saskatchewan and Western Manitoba, featuring a variety of retail shopping options. As an added bonus, Montana has no state sales tax, providing for tax free shopping.

Take action to increase our outdated and unreasonably low duty free allowances.

We are happy to announce that we have launched a petition requesting that the Minister of Finance institute a personal exemption of $200 for Canadians returning from stays of less than 48 hours in the United States.

Currently, Canadians are not permitted any duty free allowance for stays of less than 24 hours in the United States, and are only permitted a $50 duty free allowance for stays of more than 24 hours but less than 48 hours. Our American neighbours, however, are entitled to a $200 duty free allowance when returning from all stays in Canada of less than 48 hours.

You can sign the petition here to have your voice heard.

Remember, the more signatures we receive, the more likely your voice will be heard, so be sure to share the petition with your friends.
